CNH Industrial Reman Adds Robotic Laser Cladding System

Jun 23, 2022

CNH Industrial Reman recently added a robotic laser cladding system to its remanufacturing facility. The technology adds cutting-edge capabilities to the remanufacturing process, drastically increasing core recovery and utilization. In addition, this technology helps lengthen the life cycle, increase availability and lower the cost of ownership for critical remanufactured components within the CNH Reman portfolio.

"Laser cladding is an additive manufacturing process, so we can apply different, or better, materials to the surface of parts without damaging the base material," said Josh Allen, salvage department supervisor at CNH Industrial Reman. "Not only does the laser cladding system help us fix things that once would have been scrap, but it also provides the capability to improve the wear and corrosion resistance of the component parts by impregnating the surface with different material options."

While laser cladding technology has been around since the 1980s, the metallurgical and laser technology has improved significantly over the past 10 years. The modern technology is so efficient that it can apply a weld to a component without damaging the base material and make it as hard, or in some cases, even harder than it was previously, often resulting in improved performance and life.

Video: The new ARION 5 CMATIC. The best choice – whatever lies ahead

The CLAAS ARION 5 CMATIC – a tractor for a wide range of tasks. Whether mowing, cultivating, swathing or baling: the new ARION 5 CMATIC impresses with its versatility and adapts to changing tasks. ? Equipped with the tried-and-tested CMATIC continuously variable transmission and a 4-cylinder engine delivering up to 180 PS, it guarantees the perfect balance of impressive performance, excellent driving comfort and outstanding efficiency. ?

On many farms, requirements change by the hour. One moment it’s road transport, the next it’s mowing grassland, then cultivating the field. This is quickly followed by raking, baling and wrapping – each task places its own demands on speed, precision and power. Via the Power-Beyond connection, the load-sensing system pumps up to 150 litres of oil per minute. This is ideal for heavy-duty hydraulic implements in rapidly changing operations. The ARION 5 CMATIC provides reliable support in every one of these situations, when every minute counts on the farm. ?

This is precisely where its strength lies: not in excelling in a single discipline, but in switching between very different tasks without compromising on reliability or performance. For farms where no two days are the same, it is precisely this flexibility that is crucial – the ARION 5 CMATIC delivers it without wasting valuable time between jobs. ?
